The return of Manny Pacquaio in the boxing ring is fast approaching and his long-time
trainer Freddie Roach is pretty upbeat about his progress and their chances of winning
against the unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. come August 21.
Roach also believed that Spence is not the old self after his near-death car accident in
2019.
“He knows where he’s at and he’s in a good place. I know Errol Spence is a very good
fighter, good boxer, but I still don’t think — I’m very leery of that car accident. He’s lucky
to be alive, I’m happy he’s alive, but it was a real bad car accident and I still don’t think
that’s over…Mentally, how could you (be 100% after the accident),” he said in an
interview with Fight Hub TV.
Nonetheless, Roach is still happy for Spence that he was able to come back in boxing.
On the other news, Eumir Marcial, Pacquiao’s protégé, is eyeing to fly back to US
before the fight to watch his idol fights.
Marcial is fresh from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics wherein he brought home the bronze
medal in the Philippines said that he is going to spend time with his family first and if
there is enough time he will fly back to America to give back the support to Pacquiao.
The eight-division champ was very vocal on social media in supporting the journey of
Marcial and other Filipino boxers that’s why he will repay it by watching him live.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
